Chapter 449 Please enter the urn
Chen Lun stood quietly on the bank of the Benavides River, his eyes reflecting the water waves.
He slowly put his hand down and thought in his mind:
'The most critical link in the Battle of Hercule Bridgehead is the explosives planted in advance by the United Kingdom of Anlong... Sure enough, judging from the feedback from [Desire of Decay], there are indeed a large number of explosives, but at this moment they have already In a 'state of decay' and unable to detonate. ’
Chen Lun let out a long breath and turned around to leave.
However, at this time, a compassionate thought emerged in his mind:
‘Why do humans kill each other? Why study various weapons and tools for killing...like flintlocks, cannons, and explosives buried under bridgeheads? Is killing the same kind the only way for human progress? ’
Chen Lun's silent eyes flashed with sadness.
He then thought of his identity as a church member accompanying the army on the expedition, and would also participate in the fighting, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
‘For such a stupid purpose, I climbed to the top of the Generous Council and participated in the war so enthusiastically. It is really unforgivable...’
Chen Lun looked at his hands and seemed to see endless blood and wailing. He even had a sense of self-commitment and wanted to end his sinful life.
But soon, his high mysterious resistance and strong willpower made him realize that something was wrong.
'It's a side effect of the strange thing...my desires are corrupted. ’
Chen Lun had a thought and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and lowered his gaze.
The next second, a cruel smile broke out on his face, and the [Balage Necklace] on his chest began to squirm continuously, "growing" wires with rusty spikes, wrapping around his chest and neck. .
‘You want to corrupt my will and desire? ’
Chen Lun raised his left hand, looked at the moldy gloves and sneered.
The murderous intention in my heart is like the hot lava erupting from a volcano, which is difficult to suppress.
'I don't care at all about the success or failure of the Battle of Hercule Bridgehead, nor do I care whether the Imperial Army will be blown into ashes... All I want is that everything develops according to my script, and no one can stop me from killing people. Only by killing can you quickly accumulate experience points, meet the conditions for promotion, and break through the control of that damn fate! ’
He clenched his fist fiercely, and the gloves were clenched tightly by him, and even let out a creaking "wailing". Chen Lun took out [Jingzhe] again, suddenly releasing the vigorous vitality, and the rings of years climbed up one after another. [Desire of Decay], the glove squirmed even more consciously, as if it was frightened, constantly avoiding the spread of the growth rings.
"Be honest with me. If you dare to influence me again, you will rot completely."
Chen Lun murmured fiercely and withdrew his strength.
This time, there was no movement from the moldy gloves.
He took it off, put it in his pocket, turned around and left the place.

Woo——
The horn of the charge sounded on the Benavides River and soared into the sky.
Rumbling artillery fire and intensive gunfire followed closely.
"Kill!"
"Charge! Charge!"
"For the Empire!"
"Long live Trisul!!"
The Imperial Army smashed the blockade of the Hercule Bridge at an extremely fast speed, knocked down the broken iron fences and various obstacles in an orderly manner, and immediately began a charge on the bridge, aiming directly at the bridgehead at the end.
Bullets began to rain down from the high walls of the bridgehead. The evening light had begun to dim, and the light of those gunfires seemed a bit dazzling, like golden flowers shining on red satin.
The Imperial Army was suppressed by the first round of fire.
However, just like the previous encounters while trekking on the Kerr Plain, the Imperial Army quickly reacted and took countermeasures. Chen Lun saw from a distance that the imperial army, under the command of the officers, took out the metal cubes from the backpack.
The metal cubes, which almost fit each person's hand, were operated by the soldiers and unfolded into iron sheets in a few breaths, forming a rectangular shield half a person's height.
The sound of clanking was endless, and the bullets landed on the shields, leaving bright sparks. However, the Imperial Army forced themselves to withstand the strafing fire, charging without slowing down and selflessly.
Phew——
Bang! !
Finally, on the city wall of the Hercule bridgehead, the cannons began to fire shells in a concentrated manner, and heavy weapons, which were far more deterrent than bullets, began the second round of suppression.
Along with the fire and smoke, rubble and rubble flew in all directions. Some Imperial troops were blown to pieces by the shells, leaving charred pits with minced flesh and blood on the bridge.
The other side seemed to not care at all whether the Hercule Bridge would collapse during the bombing, and only wanted to inflict maximum damage on the Imperial Army. The cannons fired without stopping, and the smoke filled the Benavides River, and the sound of gunfire was heard. It formed a cruel symphony of war.
Chen Lun walked slowly to the entrance of the bridge and found that it had been occupied by the imperial army. A temporary defense facility was built with sandbags, wooden piles and stones. Many assembled troops boarded the bridge one after another and began to charge.
The headquarters tent was a little further back, but General Vance was sitting on a folding chair at the door, using a telescope to keep an eye on the situation. The clergy of the Moon Church and the Hailing Regiment sat down near the general, but there was no communication between them.
At this time, Chen Lun was suddenly startled.
He found that a prompt box popped up on the panel——
[Circus player "Noghead Gold" kills enemy soldiers, and you gain 50 experience points! 】
[Circus player "Dongyang" killed the enemy player "Long and Thick Carrot", and you gained 100 experience points! 】
[Circus player "Pumpkin" kills enemy soldiers...]
Chen Lun was overwhelmed by the series of prompts.
‘I can actually share the kill rewards of my players? ! ’
He was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
Although these experience point rewards are not many, they are not worth the frequency!
There are more than two thousand circus players, even if you leave aside some bastards, dozens of prompts appear almost every second, and the experience value on Chen Lun's panel is jumping rapidly.
But as he looked at the panel, he quickly became confused.
‘Why hasn’t this happened before? ’
Whether it was the bloody battle at the end of the previous version, or when they just arrived in the deserted Vulture City some time ago and asked Polaris and the others to hunt down the enemy players who were harassing the border, they never gained experience points. Only this time was different.
‘Could it be that the update to version 2.0 secretly changed some panel mechanisms? ’
Chen Lun had some sudden ideas.
He shook his head, thinking it was impossible.
'Anyway, this is a good thing for me. I will explore the specific principles when I have time... What I need to do now is to encourage them. ’
Chen Lun's eyes flashed. After thinking for a while, he calmly operated on the panel and issued another mission to his players.
[Side mission: Western War/Battle of Hercule Bridgehead/Kill the enemy heroically! 】
Mission description: Circus leader Jack Speight is watching the battle from the front. He is very satisfied with your performance. He will give additional rewards to the immortal strangers who fight bravely!
Mission goal: Kill as many enemies as possible! The top ten with points will receive special rewards! (1 point for killing an enemy soldier, 2 points for killing an enemy officer, 3 points for killing an enemy player, 5 points for killing the ninth player in the enemy sequence, 10 points for killing the eighth player in the enemy sequence)
Mission rewards: For fourth to tenth place, one piece of Sequence Eight extraordinary knowledge (any way); for third place, the above reward and a C-level artifact; for second place, the above reward and a support letter from circus cadres (Random); first place, the above rewards and a chance to teach Jack's skills once (rare).
When Chen Lun released the task.
The players who were fighting under the bridgehead were suddenly in an uproar.
"Fuck!"
"There are additional rewards!"
"Get Sequence 8 extraordinary knowledge for free? There are also C-level monsters! Can anyone tell me what a support letter is?"
"You can just call on the circus cadres to help... By the way, that's the reward for second place. Don't worry about it, it's not your share!"
"The first place can actually learn Jack's exclusive skills?! Is it so unbelievable?!"
"Kill, blanch, why don't I overthrow this broken bridgehead?!"
In nearby channels and power channels, various exchanges flew by quickly, filled with excited words from players.
The most notable thing was that the prompt box Chen Lun received popped up at several times the speed before... This filled his mind with ding-ding sounds. As a last resort, he had to quickly set it to "Do Not Disturb". model".
After doing this, Chen Lun moved a chair and sat behind the headquarters with a smile on his face.
‘Very well, let’s fight, warriors in foreign lands…’
He clapped and cheered for the players in the distance.
General Vance, senior military officials and the clergy of the Church of the Moon's Hailing Regiment on the side couldn't help but turn around and mistakenly thought that he was admiring the fearless charge of the Imperial Army.
"The soldiers of Trisul are never afraid of death. Even if there is hell ahead, they will charge boldly... This is also the reason why our empire can dominate the mainland."
General Vance said with a smile.
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, and immediately realized that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, but he did not explain, but nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, General."
Seeing that his experience points had skyrocketed by tens of thousands in just a few minutes, Chen Lun was quite satisfied and pleased, and couldn't help but say a few more words:
"But the defense of the Hercule bridgehead is a bit strange. Since they don't care about the integrity of the bridge and bomb it wantonly, why don't they blow it up in advance and evacuate?"
General Vance was not surprised when he heard what he said. Instead, he said lightly:
"Naturally, we want to use the bridgehead as a bait to lure the Imperial Army into the fortress... The other party knows the strategic significance of this military fortress better than we do, and knows that we will not give up easily, so they probably set up a trap inside and planned to attack. Get out of the ambush.”
The general chuckled and shook his head.
"But Anlong has no idea how powerful their enemy is."
He seemed to be well prepared, with a look of confidence on his face.
Chen Lun sighed secretly.
He guessed that a considerable part of the reason why the Imperial Army suffered losses here in his previous life was due to this "confidence".
‘This is not a trap at all, but a big explosion that breaks the arms of a strong man, turning the fortress and the imperial army into ashes...’
At this time, several scouts came down from the temporary wooden tower, trotted to the headquarters, and stopped next to General Vance.
"General, the enemy seems to be carrying a large number of explosive barrels!"
"Huh?"
General Vance stood up from his chair, picked up the monocular on the table and looked in the direction of the bridgehead.
Soon, he frowned.
"Would you rather blow up the bridgehead than give it to us?"
General Vance snorted coldly.
He immediately ordered the army to use "alchemical stimulants" to increase the speed of the attack, and also asked the "Mechanical Falcon" team to shoot the enemy troops carrying the barrels of gunpowder from the air.
"Priest Kuni, can you mobilize the water of the Benavides River to hit the powder barrels on the high wall of the bridgehead?"
General Vance turned to look at the clergy of the Hailing Regiment. This was also the first time he asked for help.
Chen Lun could tell that the general was a little anxious. Otherwise, he would never ask clergymen like them for help easily due to his character.
"Hmm...okay."
Priest Kuni thought for a while, and finally nodded calmly in agreement.
He and everyone in the Hailing Regiment around him stood up, and without wasting time, they left the headquarters directly and went to the entrance of the bridge. A group of Sequence 5 deep-sea supernatural beings used the sequence ability of [Deep Diver] to directly evoke More than ten meters of waves.
Rumble...
Even the clouds in the sky couldn't help but become a little darker.
Chen Lun watched this scene silently, remembering what he had experienced on the Pearl Bamogo. Those "Hands of Berlie" deep-sea extraordinary beings seemed to have caused the weather, causing the ship to encounter a storm.
‘However, Sequence Five alone should not be able to directly create a storm. Most of them need to take advantage of the situation and catalyze it... The current weather does not seem to be raining, and these people in the Hailing Group may need some help from external objects. ’
Sure enough.
I saw Priest Kuni and others taking out a palm-sized fish skull. After activating it, the high waves around began to rotate on their own, and a figure also appeared on the Benavidez River with a strong current. A huge whirlpool.
Whoops!
Strong winds came out of thin air, and the waterspouts rolled higher and higher, even reaching the sky.
There was a roar, and lightning flashed across the clouds.
Such a vision attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield. Whether it was the Anlong army on the bridgehead or the imperial soldiers, they all saw that the environment became darker.
But compared to the indifference of the imperial army, Anlong's side became a little panicked.
"It seems that they also realized that the plan was going to go bankrupt..."
General Vance looked at it with a telescope and laughed twice.
Suddenly, in the next second, a strange stream of starlight shone from the highest point of the bridgehead, like a lighthouse beam, heading straight towards General Vance's position.
General Vance was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed slightly the next second.
"It's the enemy's extraordinary person!"
"Protect the general!"
Following several loud shouts, the tall personal guards trained by the military immediately guarded the general. However, the dazzling stream of light penetrated the bodies of several people, making them freeze in place, like sculptures.
The middle-aged nun from the Moon Church had a cold face and stood up directly. She raised her hand and a black halo of light stopped in front of the stream of light.
Buzz! !
The invisible contest only lasted for a moment. The next moment, the middle-aged nun held her head and wailed, falling straight to the ground.
In the end, she only had time to scream:
"The Incarnation of the Saint!!"
The black light circle quietly shattered, and the stream of light was about to fall on General Vance.
At this critical moment, everyone felt like their eyes were blurred.
General Vance disappeared, and the stream of light only illuminated the empty chair. The illuminated metal folding chair actually deformed. In just a few breaths, it turned into a marble chair full of veins, like a work of art.
Chen Lun grabbed General Vance's arm with one hand and led him to an open space more than ten meters away. The latter took a deep breath and thanked Chen Lun softly.
After a brief silence, General Vance said in a deep voice:
"Hmph... I can't help but send out extraordinary beings to attack the headquarters. It seems to have hurt the opponent! Herald, keep urging! Speed up the attack!"
However, Chen Lun glanced at the general's shadow calmly.
Just before he took action to rescue General Vance, he noticed that the latter's shadow moved slightly, as if there was something hidden in it.
'It seems that the top brass of the imperial military are not just protective on the surface... Maybe even if I didn't save him just now, nothing would happen to him easily. ’
At the same time, heavy rain began to fall from the sky, covering the entire battlefield.
However, the area one kilometer away was still dry. It seemed that the Hailing Group's spellcasting range had an upper limit.
Chen Lun glanced at the bridgehead from a distance. With his strong eyesight, he saw a short-haired woman in military uniform looking indifferently at the top of the high wall.
The moment their eyes met, both sides seemed to have an insight into the other's identity.
"Archon Jack, do you have any good countermeasures for the attack just now?"
General Vance turned to look at Chen Lun and asked seriously.
Chen Lun glanced at him and nodded lightly.
"Just kill her."
The general couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Fans said that they were deeply inspired by Luo Luo’s book and wrote a book of the same type. Interested beauties can support it~
Book title "The strategy says, I seem to be the leader of the villains"
……
Rean knew that the original owner of his time-travel was the ultimate villain, but that was the first episode. What was the matter with the second episode?
Everyone must believe me. Evil and disaster have nothing to do with me. Although I like to make trouble, I am a good person——
You mean the group of players following me?
They are easy to get along with. As long as you give me the money, I won't let them bite you.
To sum up, this is a story about a timid and humble NPC, leading those frustrated NPCs and players to spread warmth on the steam continent.
